Colours of the sea

My fascination with the different shades of blue and green in the sea continues. I just don't have the vocabulary to describe them. Today Davie and I went for a walk along the beach on the east side of the narrow part of Vatersay. It was still very windy but fairly dry when we set off, however on our way back along the beach the rain came on heavily and by the time we got back to the car our trousers were soaking. It was worth it for the beautiful sea though - the best I can describe it is a sort of pale translucent jade green, with the golden sand shining through in the shallows. It's no use, I can't properly describe it, I'll just have to try to remember it. Later on the sun came out in this amazing changeable island climate and we had a glorious evening. Davie and I went down to our beach to watch the sunset, and the dog from the hotel followed us and took us for a walk along the beach, bringing us sticks so we could throw them for him! We had a great time running in and out of the surf. Back to the cottage for coffee and hot chocolate. Feeling very relaxed.
